Sooo... It's a Black Box?

Woohoo? Quick somebody alert my cardiologist! I'm gonna need CPR. It's a box and it would appear to be black. Pure ecstasy and innovation. How oh how do they do it?

Wow! This is cool. I learned a lot. Even better, I'm an average person. So, I will certainly be at E3 for the official unveiling.

I wonder if it will still remain blurry after people buy it. I mean, I don't think I want to buy anything that will hurt my eyes to look upon it. It seems like it would be hard to find where to put the disc if I can't look at it directly. (j/k)

...or perhaps they put something really offensive on the console. You have to blur it out for all the sensitive kiddies out there! I mean, you can't just advertise something with genitals on it. You gotta have the blur. Or perhaps it's a caricature of Mohamed. (also j/k)

Yep, if they don't reveal the box, people complain. And if they do reveal the box, people complain that it's just a box. This way... everybody loses!

I'm sorry Sony, but no matter how hard you try to be a PC, the PC crowd isn't going to come to you in droves.

Feel free to come to us though. You might just win this generation by ditching a few "traditions" that hurt you and your developers more than help them.

I have exclusive details that have leaked about the PS4. Behold:


It's wafer thin and has a smooth, minty centre covered in dark chocolate! That's why it isn't backwards compatible. The new hardware is mint-based.

I like all the complaining. "What!? A teaser that doesn't show anything? Its like its teasing me or something."

I wish I could find a program that could break videos apart into their individual frames. Ideas anyone?

That was fast. I guess my idea wasn't as cool as I thought it would be :/

Oh... oh look. It's a BLACK FUCKING BOX! Not that that's bad, it's just the casing for the real goods; the software. I mean, most consoles have been black (or white) boxes.

But come on, this commercial seems to think this fucking box is the key to humanity's ascension.

They're blurring it, really? Talk about pretentious. What're the PR people smoking? Nobody fucking cares what minute details separate the aesthetics of this black box from every other fucking black box. They're just fucking plastic boxes for holding the real product!

...?

Hold on a moment, am I in the right thread?

What is this nonsense.
Who is truly hyped about how exactly the black box looks like?
Just show the darn thing and get on with the things of actual importance.
Why is this even a thing now?

Kinda cool. Still doesn't show much. The best thing I spotted was at 1:56 - 1:58. I could be wrong but...

It appears to be two small cameras. There appears to be a hinge which moves the assembly, and each of the cameras also move independently. At least that's what I'm seeing. I'm probably WAY off. It's probably the stand or something. If I'm right though, that would have to be a motion sensor.

Everything else looks like I took close-up photos of my PS2. The blurry box doesn't look much different than an upright PS3.

My God, it's a black rectangle?

I am truly shocked by this amazing revelation!
I find it no suprise considering the looks of the new Sony Bluray players:


A blocky shape with sharpish edges would fit the style they seem to be going with, and honestly I don't mind that depending on how the whole shape looks, we shal see soon enough :)

Thank you for that 39 seconds of blurry nothing with the synth movie trailer music.
It served no purpose, but at least it didn't insult me in an underhanded manner, either.

I really hope Microsoft name the next console something interesting, and not Xbox 720. I'm getting sick of the boring, sequential naming system. I wonder how many hours they spent over a round table coming up with PS4. I understand they want to cash in on brand recognition, but there are better ways.

Good timing on Sony's part for this cryptic trailer given Microsoft's announcement is a day away.
